have you seen stars?

[matobe]

I'm 25 weeks now and I just ecperienced seeing stars when I got up from the couch. I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing. I just saw my ob last week and I didn't have any protein/sugar in my urine, my blood sugar levels and blood pressure are fine. but she did say I should watch my weight gain. I've already put on 30 pounds(yikes!). Any advice would be terrific!

I had that with my 1st pregnancy... it was b/c I had very low iron.

Yes thats normal in the second trimester.  It is usually caused by blood pressure etc but since yours is fine then theres nothing to be concerned about. Im 30 weeks with my second and have started seeing the stars aswell. But mine at the moment is caused by my blood pressure and sugar because I was really sick and have struggled to put on weight and keep any food down. With my son I saw them around 20 weeks due to my excess weight gain. When getting up, don't go quick. Just pase yourself. You will make yourself dizzy. When laying down, sit up and put your feet on the floor and sit down for a bit longer then usual and then slowly stand up. You have increased blood flow through your body.
